Yep... MPX is the current way to go IMHO!!! As a loyal Futaba guy for a whole lotta years it pained me to seek a better way, but MPX is a better way (gotta love that German thought process). Once I got the Futaba programing outta my head and caught on to the way the MPX works as Dave said

[RCSE] Center of Gravity Issue...

2002-02-28 Thread Robert Marlan
